Weight and self esteem are real kickers when it comes to SA. I know how you feel. A member or two of my family took the p*** out of me because I'd put on weight. I was a skinny 11-12 stone years ago and in good shape. Then I managed, with the help of SA and other things to get up to 15 & 1/2 stone last Christmas.
It's wrong to judge people on their weight but on the other hand it's good to not be overweight for health and self esteem reasons. In an ideal world we could all be fat and happy but that's just not how it is with society.
It's not silly to feel like this it's natural and just how I and others feel. My response was to get fit. I'd tried before to get fit and lose weight to make people happy and improve my image for them but it never worked.
It's working now (13 stone and falling slowly) because of one little change. I'm getting fit and healthy for myself not everyone else and I think that's important. It's also just as important to not go to far and make it a problem. Get fit and healthy don't get another problem
And if someone jokes about your weight then f**k them. You can diet but they will always be ignorant
